Legasee War Veterans Online Archive




Update - Fri 18th February 2011
New Veterans Interviews To Watch


We hear all about the campaigns and the conflicts that Britain has been involved in over the past six decades, but rarely do we get to learn about the people involved in these moments of history.


Legasee tries to bridge that understanding and gets into the character of the people who were there - where they came from, what they did and how they felt.  As a consequence of our policy it's not all gunfire and battles.  It's the good and the bad, the happy and the sad.




Our films are unedited so we suggest you switch off the TV, grab a cup of tea and immerse yourself in the part of history that interests you.


Rex Sheppard - Royal Fusiliers
"I went to Korea a boy and came back a man".  Watch Rex talk about his experiences in some of the worst fighting conditions since the Great War.  We cover Rex's military life in detail.  How he felt about being conscripted to war, training in sight of the Chinese enemy, life in the trenches and more than a couple of very near misses.  Rex is one of the few survivors of this conflict - many who fought in Korea have since died of cancer.




Peter Noad MBE - Queens Lancashire regiment.
Peter was inspired to become a soldier when his Uncle used to let him play with grenades as a boy!  His long career spanned several intense tours of Northern Ireland and one contact is recalled in graphic detail.  Peter was promoted to RSM and recalls some of the lighter sides of army life as a leader, including preparations for a Royal visit.  To view these interviews, go to our web site HERE
